"The reversals of the last several months have led our military to ask for more troops. This weekend, it was announced that some of them--a "moderate" increase, it was said--would soon be sent. But isn't this exactly what we have always done in the past? If we examine the history of this conflict, we find the dismal story repeated time after time. Every time--at every crisis--we have denied that anything was wrong; sent more troops; and issued more confident communiques. Every time, we have been assured that this one last step would bring victory. And every time, the predictions and promises have failed and been forgotten, and the demand has been made again for just one more step up the ladder. But all the escalations, all the last steps, have brought us no closer to success than we were before. . . . And once again the President tells us, as we have been told for twenty years, that "we are going to win"; "victory" is coming. . . . It becoming more evident with every passing day that the victories we achieve will only come at the cost of the destruction for the nation we once hoped to help. . . .

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Amazing what was happening in the 60s and 70s, and that we have not traveled beyond it all.

Most people are ok. Those who want to live in peace and harmony with others who also want to do the same. (Live and let others live their own way or ways and in a peaceful manner.) So few people asking why? Those who do ask why? Are given the wrong answers and they believe the deceivers. Millions upon millions lead down the trail of blindness. Far to People spend their time thinking about who pulled triggers, instead of why did they pull the their triggers. The answer is simple - Either you serve "us" or else.

SI--
